Hurst Competition Plus Install Tips - 1967-1968 Camaro / Firebird

[@federicofongaro4880]

Thanks a lot 4 the video, I broke the 1-2 gear arm in my 68 Camaro and thanks to your video I’ve been able to replace it. thanks a lot

[@TheEZGZ]

That is sure a tight fit. Nice that they put bushings everywhere. Doing an in car installation must test a persons patience.

[@elvispresley4210]

Another great video Paul! I have a 68 Camaro and will be ordering an M22W from you this winter. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks for watching. There are package discounts available.

[@snw56]

Excellent video Paul!

[@cew142]

That bracket is a treat to adjust! I have one on my saginaw.. I too am not a fan of it, but it does work...

[@GearBoxVideo]

That's why I say to pre fit the bracket and shifter body as a unit. Bolting the bracket to the trans without the shifter, makes no sense.

[@tylerpack8102]

Hey man, can you do a video on rebuilding or just go into detail of a Chrysler a833?

[@ironhorse127]

Top notch video as always. Thanks for posting it.

thankyou rick, great info

[@claudetremblay700]

this is great Paul, i've watched it twice and gone through a bunch of your other videos, you probably mention it somewhere, but i can't find it. Why do you replace factory bushings with hardened steel?

[@GearBoxVideo]

Watch my video on bushings

[@justindennis1186]

Hey great videos! I have a 68 firebird that someone swapped out the auto and started to put an 81 super t10 in. It has what looks to be a factory hurst competition plus ( I’m guessing ). Would the kit with the shift rods and levers fit the same on the t10 as the Muncie? The rods I have are for the 81 trans am that it came out of and the tunnel is way to tight for them to fit and the levers are straight instead of offset. Thanks!

[@GearBoxVideo]

You would need to contact me if you want something to work with the 68. Do you plan on putting a 4 speed console in? The muncie will not work. Contact me. Info is in video description or actually in every video!

[@robertpreston3520]

I have the same shifter, question the older hurst shifters had a main bolt holding all the pieces together. Is there a torque specification on this? Holly could not tell me. Shifter isc2 old no information on it. Thanks

[@GearBoxVideo]

People are always asking for torque specs and here is my simple answer. Simply search for "Bolt Torque Table" . These tables use to be in older service manuals and factory overhaul manuals. The bolts supplied are Grade 5 with 7/16-20 and 3/8-24 threads. Since the mounting plate is steel you should be OK with standard measurements. One can get into a problem more with aluminum mount plates that are old with damaged threads or corroded threads. Never start cranking down. Tighten gradually.

[@robertpreston3520]

Thanks 4 your time, great video's you post!!!!

[@69RIDING]

HEY PAUL, JUST INSTALLED THE SHIFTER. I HAVE 1,2,3,4 BUT NO REVERSE. SHIFTING ARM IS NOT HITTING THE TUNNEL PLENTY OF ROOM. FROM NEUTRAL THE SHIFT ARM WILL NOT GO LEFT. JUST FAR ENOUGH TO SHIFT FIRST AND SECOND. IT WILL MOVE LEFT FOR 3.4 SHIFT. WHAT AM I MISSING? ALSO DO YOU MAKE A BIGGER BOOT I HAVE TO STRETCH THE BOOT TO CLEAR THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE SHIFTER HANDLE.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Your application is? I get 100s of support requests. Trys emailing me at [e-mail] with specifics and contact phone. Some shifters have a spacer that people leave out.

[@johnsoukup948]

Paul thanks for new shifter came today but , I think I'm still not out of the woods just yet . Not shure I have corect linkage ,maybe different year than 67 camaro ihave 67 shifter mount , with u bolt over tail . Shifter was tight all the way over to the right rubbing on counsel plate . Can that be adjusted out on new one ?

[@GearBoxVideo]

Contact me for support issues via my email.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Your ordered the correct shifter for your car. Sometimes you have to adjust the shifter on the mount. There is also this problem with these cars. In your order you failed to tell me what exact car you had. We did not sell you the install kit. However if you have a BIG BLOCK car the u-bolt type mount will not work. If someone changed the floors in the car usllay they are off.

[@johnsoukup948]

@@GearBoxVideo ok paul , i do have a big block car and , i'm using the wrong shifter mount as you say , which one is best design 69 style i'm not a perfectioist just want to drive and enjoy some off my likage is worn also , and tranny has problem now can't shift , 1-2 without moveing tailshaft back and forth .. may be syncrow or the combs stated in other video . How mush for new mount kit ?

hey rick, one more question for you. since i cant find an after market slip in shifter, can i just drill out the slip in body to accommodate the two bolts?

[@GearBoxVideo]

People do that. I change the whole reciever

Thanks, great video! I'm currently replacing a 3 speed Saginaw manual with a 4 speed Saginaw manual in our 68 Chevy II Nova. Do you have any info on any issues I may run into for this installation? Thanks!

[@GearBoxVideo]

It's a direct swap. Getting a linkage and shifter may be a challenge

[@rickykieffer]

Y is my car grinding gears when i shift into 3rd gears i 4:36 4:42 just had my trany rebuild

[@GearBoxVideo]

You may want to speak to the person who rebuilt your transmission. It's not uncommon to get new synchro rings that don't fit old gears properly.

[@2chevynuts]

Hello I hope you can help me out, I have a 69 nova that I have bought and installed a M20. The transmission has bolt on shifter combs and i purchased a Hurst competition plus shifter and it looked correct. I still have not been able to drive the car yet do to it’s not completed yet but close. I took the car to a speed shop for some work and when I got it back it would not shift. After watching your video again i dove in and removed the 1-2 and 3-4 arms and noticed that they don’t fit well, i put the neutral pin in and it was in the neutral position but was in 3rd gear. Then with a wrench tried to get the shifter rods to move and it took quite a bit to get them to move. Sorry for the long story but I need the shifter arm adapters you sell. Can you let me know if you still sell them and how much . Thanks Darrel

Paul, I have a 2nd Gen Camaro with the lift for reverse Hurst shifter. I want to replace the rod bushings , these are rubber and the holes are slotted. And I ruined all three getting them off. Will your tool steel bushings fit and work or???

[@trinaboynton2798]

What bracket would I need for my 78 Corvette with a Saginaw transmission? I have a Hurst competition plus shifter #391-7992

[@erving1979]

Hi, Paul I hope you can guide me I bought a 4 speed saginaw but it didn't have a shifter linkage can you tell me where can I get the rigth shifter linkage rods ?

[@GearBoxVideo]

It depends on the make and model. There are several different applications. I do sell the Hurst line.

[@erving1979]

@@GearBoxVideo what it your webpage? I been checking and my Saginaw seem to be from 68 to 75 years I'm putting that trans an a 74 chevy nova.

[@EMFT]

Thanks for the video

[@grapeape88]

Is there a way to adjust the forward throw for 1st and 3rd? I can't put the console plate on because it hits the plate when shifting into 1st and 3rd. My guess would be the adjustment of the shifter on the mount plate? (BTW the console is as far forward as it can go)

[@GearBoxVideo]

The mount plate for the Hurst on the 67-68 allows rotation. Rotating it completely clockwise and realigning it should help.

[@mschiffel1]

I bought a Saginaw 4 speed recently for a project with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter on it...It supposedly came out of a 1970 Camaro...The shifter must be an "economy" unit because there are no provisions for the stop bolts and lock nuts to limit the shift handle travel...Also the holes in the shifter arms on the shifter itself and on the transmission levers are not large enough to accept the Hurst bushings...The anti rattle arm retaining clips fit fine...I had to drill out the spot welds on the handle to remove the stick...there were no bolts...was this a common shifter used by the factory?..If so, it does seem kinda cheap and not what I'd expect from a quality Hurst shifter...Any ideas?...Thank you.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Hurst made non bushed stripped down versions for OEM. It's not after market and usually the car manufacturers want as cheap as possible.
